Those pants look great on you. I love that eggplant color one. You have created “speed sewing”. Love it! All I did today was eat, snack, lay around and watch Colorado football. I LOVE football. I’m going to regroup and start sewing in January. I am having withdrawals for sure.
The pants are a great style for you Cara. Lovely fabrics and colors, as always, and the waistband is so much easier this way. I'm finally at a point where I can deviate from pattern instructions a bit and apply finishing touches that work for me. My poor sewing machine is telling me it needs a tune up. The automatic threader has had it and I've gone long enough without my thread cutter! While it's at the Spa, I'll be getting some patterns and fabrics cut out! Enjoy a lazy. warm Sunday.
Both pairs of trousers look great! I always attach waistbands with the method you used. I usually add a bit of extra length to the side where the button goes which extends under the buttonhole. I think it helps to keep the zip looking flat. I also will use the “reverse” method for sewing neck binding, and cuffs on blouses. Works anywhere you’re topstitching and need to catch the fabric on the inside of the garment. Happy sewing, Cara. x
I love your trousers! They look really good on you. I wish I had just half your sewing talent. I think I will look for a pattern without side seams like yours and love the waistband assembly. Looks so neat. Thanks so much for taking us along!
The trousers are a good fit, and look really comfy. I like that aubergine colour - very nice. Thank you for your great videos, I feel as if we are close friends and have really enjoyed spending time with you this festive season. Thank you.
Oh Cara. You really are a tonic as my mom used to say. Love the trousers. You look great in them. Great seeing you every day. I shall miss you when you stop. See you tomorrow xxx
The trousers look great! I have a few snack curves myself 😉. I like the method of finishing the waist band that you showed. I often do mine like that and it gives a really nice finish. You looked really smart for going out, you pack a lot into a day!
Thank you for the waistband tip, I will definitely use that method, i have some rather 'disappointing' inside waistbands! I notided the pattern is for a button fly, How do you adapt to a zip?
Your trousers look fabulous. Love the aubergine ones.

Lol definitely speed sewing! Yes best to chill and come back to it fresh when you feel ready 🥰
That seam for the waist totally makes sense now that you showed us with the pants. I’d like to try that.
It's so simple but makes perfect sense!

Love the idea of a sewing machine being at the spa! Hope you have a lovely day x
